Absent Minded

This dance

Theres nothing worse
than knowing you are home
but just wont come to the door
would the world turn away
as i whisper this curse?

steal the breath of a fiery lad
hush the breath of a fine young lady
qualm the ash of the dungeon siege
its all over, its all over me.

Can we have this dance
or will you shy away like your shadow?
would the world spin us around
to tickle our fancies?
Its between us, between you and between me
i think i liked it better that way.
step by step
sway by sway
shift by shift
the seconds turn to minutes
and they are replaced by rhythm.

There is nothing worse
than knocking on an unanswered door
when you can hear noise coming from the other side


I'm no lonely beggar, let me in
